Why it ms sense to multiply when you convert to a smaller unit?
It makes sense to multiply when converting measurements to smaller units because it takes many smaller units to make up a larger unit. So in order to translate larger unit(s) into smaller units, you have to break up the larger unit(s) into many smaller pieces.
How are mm and cm alike?
They are both units to make a linear measurement. They are both metric units. MM are smaller than CM
